Installing games to a hard drive

Console gaming. You put the game in the system and it runs. No installation or setup required. That's supposed to be one of the perks of console gaming versus PC gaming.

Of course, nowadays we have download-only games on consoles and I suppose that kind of confuses the issue...

Speaking of which, Wii U does have download versions of retail games. (Is it all of them or just certain ones? I haven't really looked into that yet.) If you buy a game that way you are installing a game instead of running it from the disc. Granted, you're picking one or the other there. You don't get both options with one purchase.---"This ain't like fieldwork. You never have to notarize a man and kill him in triplicate. Well... Almost never..." - Ruby
